Brazilian imports from South American countries, on the other hand, indicate an
important share of products with lower degree of industrialization, including natural
gas, wheat, copper cathodes, copper ores and crude petroleum. Regarding these
products, Brazil’s neighbors play an important role in the total of the country’s imports.
In the case of natural gas and copper cathodes, their share is of 100%. Close behind
them, come wheat (98.9%), copper ores (95.8%), rice (87%), among others (Table
II.8).
However, there are several manufactured goods that Brazil imports from the region,
the most important of which being naphtha, auto parts, cargo vehicles, polymers and
passenger vehicles. It must be also highlighted, though, that in the case of manufactured
goods, imports originate mainly from Argentina. Purchases from the remaining countries
are essentially limited to non-manufactured goods.
